Leganes head coach Borja Jimenez did not hide his disappointment after his side’s effort at the Santiago Bernabéu ended in a 3-2 defeat against [Real Madrid](https://www.managingmadrid.com).
“I’m leaving with a bad feeling,” Jimenez said in the post-match press conference. “I think we deserved enough to not lose here today. We had bad luck that hurt us because everything that happened in the game hurt us. We’re upset; for three consecutive weeks, the team deserved to score more.”
The loss marks a frustrating streak for Leganes, who have struggled to convert solid performances into points. Jimenez remains confident that his team’s efforts will soon be rewarded.
“I’m convinced that seeing the team like today, against Celta or Betis... football will repay us for the merits we performed,” he added. “We’ll all agree that we shouldn’t have lost in the last three matches, and all three games slipped away.”
### Frustration with Refereeing Decisions
One of Jimenez’s key grievances was the officiating by referee González Fuertes, though the coach refrained from making direct accusations.
“I hope for better luck... I already spoke about González Fuertes in the Alavés match, and I’m not going to do so today,” he stated. “I already said it on Friday: those at the top have little right to complain. I have a lot of trust in the refereeing establishment, but we had bad luck again.”
Jimenez also called on the club to take action regarding the perceived officiating errors.
“I hope the club can do something about it and speak out against the mistakes like other clubs do. The players are watching the plays now and are outraged and angry. They’re very upset about the circumstances.”
Leganes’s social media account already made several posts on X about being ‘robbed’, though, it is clear by video replays that on this picture shared below, Asencio did clear the ball cleanly and it was correct not to award a penalty.
